| From the Kansas City Royals 1969 Yearbook: |
| Mel has 42 years of nearly continuous major league service, with distinguishments from his playing and coaching careers. He won 223 games for Cleveland from 1928-47, then helped develop the Indians' foursome of Bob Feller, Bob Lemon, Early Wynn, and Mike Garcia during his first coaching assignment. He has the vital task of molding the Royals' young pitching talent. |
